Problem reinstalling Photoshop Elements 6

Following a problem with my computer I tried to reinstall Photoshop Elements 6 but without success. When I run the installation CD there is no SETUP. EXE file and I cannot find it. I tried the Adobe chat line but they refuse to help because it is PSE 6. They told me to bin it and buy the current version but I am not prepared to pay out any more money for  something which will itself become obsolete in a very short time.

The set-up file is usually located in the Photoshop Elements Folder on the disk. What do you see when you click on the disc icon and choose open - and then click on that folder. Is there any application file? It’s unlikely it could have been deleted.
If you can locate it and can copy the contents to the Desktop or My documents try this:
To install Photoshop Elements as an administrator:
Open the Photoshop Elements folder on the desktop or in documents (wherever you saved it).
Right-click the Setup.exe file and choose Properties.
On the Compatibility tab, select Run This Program As An Administrator in the Privilege Level section.
Click OK.
Double-click the Setup.exe file, and follow the on-screen instructions.

  • Problems reinstalling Photoshop Elements 8

    I accidentally deleted something in Elements 8.  The program told me things were missing and I should reinstall the program. So, I uninstalled it and then tried to reinstall it. It installs to about 7/8 of the way and then the disc is ejected and it says some elements are missing and installation has failed.  The analysis program has failed to find the error and I really need to complete the project I was working on! Can anyone help??

    What analysis program did you use?  I would recommend running the Adobe Support Advisor.   Also did you receive any error messages when uninstalling Photoshop Elements 8?  Finally do you know what you originally deleted?

  • Having Problem Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 6.0.

    When I was upgrading my computer to Windows 8, my friend recommended that I copy over all my files to a backup USB memory stick. When I did upgrade my computer to Windows 8, most of my files ended up being wiped off for some reason. I've managed to reinstall most of my files. However, I have no idea how to reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 from the files that are saved on my USB. Is there anyway that I can do this? I don't really want to have to buy a new version of Adobe Photoshop Elements as I only ever really use it for editing.

    Unfortunately you need to have installation files to install the software on a different machine.  There is no download available for Elements 6, so if you do not have a disc version then you won't have much choice but to upgrade to a new version.

  • I reinstalled photoshop elements 6 to my computer and now it won't let me register it. How do I fix this?

        I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

    Not for free, no.  Well I guess there is.  Don't sync your phone.  We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.

  • Problems installation Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7

    I tried to install Photoshop elements 8 on my Windows 7 computer, but the installation gives a failure after a certain time. A file "...cab" is not working and may be corrupt ( exact failure code I can give, if necesary). Is there any possibility to get this file or the program Photoshop Elements 8 as download file so that I can complete the installation? Thank you in advance for your answers. 

    Hello,
    I just got the same problem already some time ago when I tried to install this programm in my computer. At that time (March 2012) the program crashed my computer, I had to reinstall all the Software completely including system software. The program I purchased in December 2011 from Amazon together with a Reflecta crystal Scan slide scanner as bundle, so I thought it will work.
    I will try to install the program from the download link you gave me, in case it does not work, what can I do next without having to buy a newer version?
    Regards

    You can download a fresh copy of the install files by following the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-ph otoshop-elements-8.html.
    I am curious did you have this installed previously or did you just purchase a copy of Photoshop Elements 8?

  • How to reinstall Photoshop Elements without losing the catalog?

    Hello all,
    I find myself in an awkward situation.
    For a reason unknown, it seems an essential file for Photoshop Organizer has been deleted. I suspect a disk cleanup utility to have been a bit overzealous. Anyway the harm is done.
    When I try to start Organizer I get a message telling me that it can't start cause "DetectionUtils.dll" can not be found. The reinstallation of this application could correct this problem". Starting Editor is not a problem however.
    I wanted to try out reinstalling Photoshop Elements but when I launch the installation the only option I have is uninstalling Photoshop as the instal program just like Windows considers Photoshop is still installed on my computer.
    My catalog is huge: I have tagged 26 000+ photos and videos. I don't want to lose it. Of course, I have backups but I want to get it back into Photoshop.
    So what are my options? How can I manage to get Photoshop 8.0 working again with my catalog?
    The simplest solution would be to be able to download the Detectionutils.dll file and install it but where can I download it and where do I save it?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Did an uninstall and a reinstall, Elements worked again and I got my Catalog back!
    Thanks a lot for the quick answer dj_paige!

  • Borders presets not installed after reinstalling Photoshop Elements 9

    I recently upgraded my computer and after reinstalling Photoshop Elements 9 I noticed that the introduction screen was dated.  While this was ok to live with I now have noticed that the 'borders' preset in effects and contents has not been installed - this is a nuisance.  I have downloaded the 9.0.3 update but still do not have the borders presets. 
    Suggestions for how to download these presets would be most appreciated.

  • Reinstalled photoshop elements 7 and serial number is rejected

    Reinstalled photoshop elements 7 from online adobe account. Used ser# listed on account and is rejected from setup. Verified ser# from written copy in notebook. tech support said to find the answer in forums. seems like everyone has the same issue and no answer???

    You need to contact Adobe again using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on. Insist on speaking with a supervisor if the agent tries to end the call. Members of this forum can't deal with activation issues; so you received poor advice. Good luck.

  • Recycled my old Mac without deactivating. How to reinstall Photoshop Elements?

    Can someone help me reinstall Photoshop Elements after recycling my old Mac without deactivating?

    The problem was probably caused by migrating pse 8 as adobe applications can never be migrated, they need to be reinstalled from the original disk or download or they won't work right.
    If you look in Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 is there an uninstaller for pse 8?
    If so, try using it and then reinstall pse 8 from your original disk.
    If that doesn't work, then you can try this, but you might end up having to run the adobe creative cloud cleaner and then manually delete all the adobe stuff on your computer and starting over with a fresh install of pse 8.

  • Uninstalling & Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 9

    I had some problems with my Windows Vista and want to Uninstall/Reinstall Photoshop Elements 9. Is there anything that I should be aware of before while uninstalling or reinstalling that might be considered out of the ordinary (e.g., Do I uninstall all the files if the uninstall gives me that option?)?

    Hi Edgar Sr.,
    You can run the inbuilt  uninstaller to remove PSE 9 from the computer.
    Yes it's recommended to uninstall all the files and preferences but then it also depends upon the types of error / problems you were facing.
    To be on the safe side, remove the application completely and reinstall.
